But I do know that when I was in junior high, I used to be made fun of " for being flat chested. Everyone would go, 'She's not pretty! She doesn't have boobs!' So I always had boob envy. And when finally I went through my growth spurt and they appeared, and I just loved them. So that's why I like boobs, because I didn't have them, and then I got 'em."

When asked if it was possible for an ordinary guy to pick up a supermodel, she said, "I don't think it's impossible. You don't sit there and go like, 'I'm only gonna date this kind of person.' At least I don't.I like to think I have a normal wish list."
